Chapter 134: Chapter 134 The Beginning of the Storm
Mountain Eagle initially thought that those Europeans and Americans were sent by the United States Embassy for negotiations...
But after talking to them, he realized that these European and American guys were actually journalists from England, and quite famous investigative journalists at that.
Under the guidance of a bona fide lawyer, they would go to interrogate the American soldiers. The secret recording equipment they carried would document the testimonies of those soldiers.
This was a classic case of using the enemy’s spear against their own shield; criminal immunity allowed these American soldiers to behave recklessly near any overseas base.
They were not afraid of local laws, but they were terrified of exposure, as public opinion would pressure the military’s upper echelons to deal with them.
This was where Thailand was at a disadvantage...
They couldn’t forcefully apply legal sanctions to those American soldiers who treated their women like pigs for sale, so they had to opt for a roundabout way of salvation, using media effects to force Bahrain to start an investigation.
As long as Thai women under control could return from Bahrain to testify, they could confirm this evil human trafficking channel controlled by the US Army.
Only after amplifying the impact was it possible to force the US Army to start an investigation, allowing the bad guys to be punished, while also suing the US Army internationally for compensation.
Mountain Eagle didn’t like this method much, but he had to admit that this was the best outcome Thailand could fight for.
It wasn’t until the ’interrogation’ began that Mountain Eagle understood what Deveka meant by telling Tessa not to mess around...
An injured soldier lying in the hospital bed revealed all the things his team had been up to under the inducement of the lawyers and journalists.
Including how they detained, fed, transported the women, and how they abused them for entertainment.
Just the simple distribution of food and water could make those women beg them like dogs.
After being extremely hungry, a piece of bread could make those women bite each other like mad dogs.
Seeing Tessa holding the gun trembling all over, Mountain Eagle played his part, firmly controlling this female hero in the listening room to prevent her from rushing into the ward and killing those soldiers.
Actually, the situation right now was good...
Those soldiers who hadn’t even graduated from high school couldn’t play the game with those lawyers and journalists...
First, the lawyers took the stage, using complex professional jargon to tell the bewildered soldiers that under certain circumstances, the Thai side could legally arrest and try them. He must make his story clear to facilitate the lawyer’s defense on his behalf.
When professionals implanted the key element that ’criminal immunity might be denied’ into the soldiers’ brains, it successfully triggered their survival instincts.
Then things became easy.
These soldiers actually knew what crimes they had committed, but they were clearer that they were just accessories to the crime.
Using the simple ’prisoner’s dilemma,’ using the straightforward idea that ’if you don’t speak up, others will pin the blame on you,’ made these soldiers betray each other...
They needed to shift blame while trying to clear themselves as much as possible, putting themselves in a subordinate position, hoping to ensure that their criminal immunity would still be effective.
Those journalists from England were as elated as if they had won 5 million on the lottery. Journalists from various media worked together and quickly, the first report on organized crime committed by the United States Army overseas appeared in The Times, the Daily Telegraph, the Financial Times, the Guardian...
At the same time, Thai authorities edited the video of the journalists’ questioning and uploaded it to American video websites.
Such scandal-related matters almost blew up instantly...
American media capitals and Silicon Valley capitals are not on the same path as the military-industrial complex. The old liberals of the left-wing, who are deeply resentful of such shocking events, equally.
Who could resist taking a stab at the military?
The current Black president couldn’t resist it either...
Because only by grabbing the military’s weak spot could he force the military to comply on certain issues during political exchanges.
Of course, politics and practical operations are two different things...
This was first-hand testimony, coupled with intelligence provided by the Thai Police, these journalists easily gathered the truths needed for their reporting...
This was akin to a resounding slap in the face of the United States!
The much-watched Snowden is still in Moscow Airport, the scandal of America monitoring the world has not faded, and now the English media have stabbed the United States Government in the kidney.
The stab made them experience piercing pain, and it made them furiously angry!
The American ambassador rushed to the Prime Minister’s Mansion of Thailand overnight...
The next day, Thailand’s Prime Minister Yingla held a press conference, urging those who had already made banners ready to march to remain restrained. She said she would order the Central Investigative Bureau to conduct a thorough investigation to give everyone a satisfactory explanation.
But, the Central Investigative Bureau actually sang a different tune this time...
When Deveka, Tessa’s mother, was interviewed by the media, she expressly showed her dissatisfaction with Yingla, and then strongly stated that she would pursue the crimes committed by the US Army to the end.
Following that, when the special envoy arranged by the Prime Minister of Thailand arrived at the hospital with an official from the United States, they encountered a massive blockade of ’Yellow Shirts.’
When these opposition protesters loudly protested, a masked figure bandaged with a bandage broke into the side of the Prime Minister’s special envoy, and cracked his head open with a brick.
Then this strange person smashed the windows of a vehicle from the US Embassy, threw a bag of feces into it, and even punctured the tires.
The American official, smelling entirely of feces, didn’t dare to get out of the car. He could only watch as the masked person, amidst the cheers of the crowd, disappeared into the crowd.
Numerous media surrounded the scene, capturing the images of the conflict.
Because the American official was covered in feces, negotiation was obviously impossible. Gru, leading a group of police, covered their withdrawal from the scene, followed by Tessa, looking haggard, taking the stage...
The pretty Thai policewoman spoke to the media with grief and anger about everything she had seen, and distributed photos of the scene at the Vilter Warehouse to all the media.
The woman who was held captive, the woman who was starved to death, the woman who was tortured, and the ’confession videos’ made by soldiers under the coaxing of journalists...
Mountain Eagle took a detour under the cover of the Yellow Shirts and returned to the hospital...
Walking into the hospital lobby, he watched the agitated Yellow Shirts through the glass, along with Tessa’s mother Deveka expressing her indignant view on television...
This family, who should have remained neutral as representatives of the police, collectively took sides, indicating that the Thai coup d’état was now on a countdown.
Soon those politicians would catch the scent and then start placing their bets.
Theoretically, the presence of the King of Thailand in politics is not particularly strong, and the politicians used to Europe and America, along with their supporters, will surely stage a fierce counterattack to protect their vested interests.
But now, the opposition represented by the Yellow Shirts seized the moral high ground swiftly with the misdeeds of the US Army.
The scales of Thai politics were tipping and would soon lose balance.
The King needs a suitable reason for the military to intervene, and intensifying the struggle is the catalyst!
Mountain Eagle decisively retreated to a quiet place and dialed Mr. Poincaré’s phone...
"Holle..."
Hearing Mr. Poincaré’s distinctive England accent, Mountain Eagle organized his language and said, "Sir, our plan might need to be pushed forward a bit..."
"I’ve seen the news. All the money from Blood Fox and Mi Lu is in place, but we don’t have enough time, and most importantly, we don’t have enough manpower.
Mountain Eagle, this is too rushed. I can find the right bank to cooperate, but I alone can’t carry out your plan."
After listening, Mountain Eagle said with frustration, "Can’t we just hire some professionals with high salaries?"
Mr. Poincaré pondered for a moment and said, "Mountain Eagle, top-tier financiers aren’t interested in the few million dollars we have; our pot is too small.
And even if we offer a high commission, we can’t find the right person in a short time."
As he spoke, Mr. Poincaré curiously asked, "What about the people you and Eddie went to find? Didn’t you find anyone?"
Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle said worriedly, "We found them, but they’ve offended the Big Russian Gang, and I don’t think those two are smart...
Stealing money from the Big Russian Gang is more severe than killing their men. I’m guessing they’re doomed."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Poincaré said gravely, "Mountain Eagle, find a way to get them to Kamui. They have no way out. If they want to survive, they’ll have to cooperate with us.
Don’t worry about anything else; just get those two guys over here.
As for the problem with the Big Russian Gang, we have means to mediate."
Saying this, Mr. Poincaré seemed to think of something and curiously said, "Those two guys wanted to steal money from the Big Russian Gang, did they succeed?"
Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "It was too chaotic at the time; I don’t know if they got the money. What do you need this information for?
That money is hot potato; whoever gets it will be hunted down by the Big Russian Gang to the death."
Mr. Poincaré laughed upon hearing this and said, "Mountain Eagle, you are smart and cautious, but you should consider it from another angle...
If the Big Russian Gang’s money has been stolen, they must be desperate. Whoever can help them recover their money can..."
Mountain Eagle paused and realized something from Mr. Poincaré’s reminder...
If the Big Russian Gang really lost their money, then revenge is secondary; recovering the money is the most crucial thing.
Now the most profitable venue of the Big Russian Gang in Pattaya has been raided, and everything inside has been seized by the police.
Whether they can realize what happened in such a short time is still a question.
They must be looking around for connections now, but with the Thai coup d’état imminent, their local patrons are too busy to help.
With that thought, Mountain Eagle decisively hung up and dialed the number on Bianca’s business card...
"This is Bianca..."
Mountain Eagle detected Bianca’s poor mood and said with a laugh, "Hey, Bianca, what happened? You seem a little unhappy?"
Bianca recognized Mountain Eagle’s voice and replied irritably, "Did you and Eddie go to the commercial street yesterday? Did you see anything?"
Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "You mean when the Big Russian Gang’s place was raided?
Eddie and I were inside at that time, and we even got into a fight with some American soldiers..."
Bianca paused, suddenly anxious, "You exchanged blows with American soldiers?
Those men stole 20 million US Dollars from the Big Russian Gang, and their boss Pulichenko has gone mad."
As Bianca spoke, she suddenly realized something and asked anxiously, "Do you know something?"
Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "Of course, I’m a cop. I was engaged in a mission when I fired at the United States Soldiers...
If you’ve seen the news, you’d know what I’m talking about..."
Bianca, shocked, raised her pitch and exclaimed, "What? You’re actually a police officer?"
Mountain Eagle said cheerfully, "Yeah, didn’t Blood Fox and Eddie tell you?"
